Folks, many of you already discovered that Merlin released the much awaited RT-AX86U_386.1_beta5.zip!!!
From the Release notes: (@RMerlin - please correct me if I am quoting it wrong):
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 386_41700
- UPDATED: Openssl to 1.1.1i.
- UPDATED: Updated to OpenVPN 2.5.0. Note that OpenVPN 2.4.0 or newer is now required by the exported client config file. You can still manually configure an older client to connect with your router.
- UPDATED: dnsmasq to 2.84 (themiron)
- UPDATED: nano to 5.2.
- UPDATED: curl to 7.72.0.
- UPDATED: zlib to 1.2.11.
- UPDATED: lz4 to 1.9.2.
- UPDATED: e2fsprogs to 1.45.6.
- UPDATED: dropbear to 2020.81.
- UPDATED: miniupnpd to 2.2 (git snapshot from 20201129)
- UPDATED: Switched userspace ipset from 6.32 to 7.6 (to match with upstream)
- CHANGED: firmware update checks are no longer using the server address stored in nvram, for security purposes. Devs who were using that nvram should instead edit the webs_scripts/* to use their own URL.
- CHANGED: The old legacy cipher setting is now only available when running with static key authentication.
- CHANGED: Tweaks to the OpenVPN webui layout
- CHANGED: OpenVPN clients will now NAT all outbound traffic, regardless of the source subnet.
- CHANGED: Reworked the display of DNSPrivacy presets
- CHANGED: Added AdGuard (ad blocking) and CIRA Canadian Shield (non US-based service) to the DNSPrivacy presets.
- CHANGED: At boot time, OpenVPN killswitch will only be applied for clients set to auto-start with WAN.
- CHANGED: Increased number of available mount points for addon webpages to 20.
- CHANGED: Multiple routes can now be defined per client on the OpenVPN client-specific configuration.
- CHANGED: Improved NAT acceleration report for newer models on the sysinfo page. Now query the hardware for the current state instead of reporting the nvram values.
- CHANGED: When logging allowed connections is enabled, also log outbound LAN connections (reverts to the behaviour from a few years ago)
- FIXED: DHCP could fail to renew its lease with some ISPs when Trend Micro engine was enabled (workaround provided by Asus)
- FIXED: OpenVPN client remote IP wasn't updated on client stop/restart.
- FIXED: Couldn't force generating a new SSL certificate for the webui.
- REMOVED: Option to disable NCP. The NCP cipher list is now used both for NCP and non-NCP endpoints.
- REMOVED: fq_codel support for Adaptive QoS. Due to a change in how Trend Micro configures QoS, it is no longer possible to intercept these to inject fq_codel.
- REMOVED: Option to select sfq as a queue scheduler for t.QoS or Bandwidth Limiter, and always use fq_codel.
- REMOVED: Support for the Cloudcheck mobile app.
